High Beech the 80th Anniversary

On the 7th February 2008 it was the 80th Anniversary of the very first public speedway meeting held behind The Kings Oak Inn at High Beech. For a number of years those who enjoy speedway and it's history gather at The King's Oak every year in February to celebrate the sport and the fellowship that has grown up around the sport.
